In the words of a friend of mine — and her sister — “Louise Fletcher is pure *EVIL!*” Now, I pointed out to her that an actor is not their character, it is merely a façade they — and she interrupted me and insisted that the only way Ms Fletcher could be that cruel to everyone in shows was if she herself was “*PURE **EE-VIL**!*”
This is when I realized that I needed to let her believe what she believed.
And in a small way, I agreed with her.
